Almost 66 GB in size
Edit: I bumped it up to 66 because it's an order 66 joke

Can any resident code monkey explain to the s*x havers here what they could possibly have put in there to make it 66 GB? I don't think it's crypto miners, but clearly it's not just the game either, so what's going on?

Probably shitty resizing of audio files , way back devs had discipline and went to great lengths to save space and compress files strategically,
But new cheap massive drives made westoid Devs as lazy as possible when it comes to compression

there's a lot of talking in it tho. all the major
named characters have voices. and i think 
the random 
characters like grunt or something? WHICH COUNTS!
3 hours of spoken cutscenes is less than other games
but still.

Uncompressed audio/texture files. But honestly that seems still way too much overhead.
So I'm going with: duplicate files. There are some ways to store/compress data, but if you change a file then you would have to recompress everything else in the container as well. So you just append the new file at the end, basically you have one old and one new copy. This type of stuff can make sense in the right circumstances, obviously not gaming.
Or instead of going "We use texture A in map X and Y, we just put the texture once in map X and once in map Y".
That would be my speculation.

I don't necessarily mind people who give money to EA. Whatever, let them have their fun.
It's the ones who rant and rend their garments and threaten a boycott, and still buy every game that EA puts out.
They're addicts. They're like those people who declare that they're leaving twitter, and then they never do, or they return after 48 hours. No better than a junkie.

Found the incel. You need to be hatemaxxing on consoomers and gatekeeping your hobbies. We need to behead the “let people enjoy things” crowd before every industry ends up as bad as game development.

You can't even buy 4tb ssd for Xbox.
PS5 ain't in better situation since the console on its own has like 500gb and you can have max 4tb. you can have more memory on ps4. Its all because this gen sold us this beautiful story of magical ssd when you can play fine ps5 games on jailbroken ps5 from external drives

You can buy on Ali express an adapter for 5 buxx and put any 2tb ssd (you can put more but MS got angry at it and never released 4tb ssd and you need to put og ms ssd bios on the ssd so because there ain't 4tb official ssd the limit is 2)
But it's kinda stupid that MS decided for their console to use an photo camera SSD slot

Neighbor you dumb as frick. Ps5 has been supporting 8tb ssd's for like a year, and have been supporting HDD's out of the gate.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Seems I was wrong about 4tb but that update to support came in 2023 so I missed it but
You can't play ps5 games from HDD so it's kinda useless also I can download games faster than transfer a game from hdd to ssd.
So why do u called me dumb ?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Because transferring games slower =/= less storage than ps4
Nice attempt to shift the goalpost tho, r-slur.

Nobody consider a regular hdd as storage for ps5 games.
But as I mentioned earlier you can on jailbroken ps5 play games from even USB stick

The Aspie port of Civilization V to Linux has to have its config files edited so it doesn't crash randomly on systems with more than 8 threads so I'm not surprised they'd bungle ports of 20 year old games this spectacularly.

Imagine this. You are attracted to women, like you are now (emotionally and sexually), but they do not exist. They existed a long time ago, and no one knows what they looked like (They have a pretty good idea from the fossils, however), but they do not exist anymore. That means, not only do you know there will never be any possibility of you having s*x with one, but there's not even a possibility of you ever seeing one in real life. Everyone else, however, except for a very few, are not attracted to women, they are attracted to something else entirely. So in other words, you will never find any porn anywhere on the internet, only non-sexual pictures of women. Everyone you have told about your attraction to women think it's disgusting. To relieve yourself, you get off on the non-sexual pictures of women, knowing it will never get any better.
That's what life is like to me.
I am a degree 6 Zoosexual, sexually and emotionally attracted to Tyrannosaurs and nothing else. Women don't even do it for me. I am cursed to live my life in the misery that my most powerful emotional fantasies will never be even close to coming true. Life is like heck to me. I will never know true love.
